Just want to report some AMAZING battery life.

I am running Syndicate 1.1 stock with no themes or addons. I have not downloaded setcpu and messed with my clock speed at all. I have the stock battery as well.

Currently my stats are:

43.5 hours since last unplugged from charger.

20% battery left.

Display on for 1h 32m 4s

WiFi on for 1d 7h 25m 18s

Phone Idle for 1d 18h 5m 40s

Voice Calls for 7m 29s

When I'm not on WiFi I'm using 3g only. I did turn on 4g for a speed test yesterday. I've used my phone like I normally would minus streaming pandora because I simply haven't had the opportunity. I'm sure if I used Pandora as much as normal my battery would already be dead by now. I've done basic web browsing, watched 30 minutes of video. Played robo defense for about an hour. I keep my brightness at the lowest setting as I've found that is fine for everyday use.

Granted I'm not using my phone like everybody else does and if I used it like a true power use I'm sure I would not get anywhere near these results. However I'm sure there are those out there who use their phone about the same as me and quite frankly this battery life is simply outstanding. Prior to flashing this rom I was lucky to get home in the late afternoon (4:30ish) without my phone dying.

I want to personally thank EVERYONE who was involved in making this rom possible and everyone who helped me flash this beastly creation.

P.S.

Can somebody point me in the right direction for the free download of SETCPU? I would like to play around with that. LOL.

Liking the new rom. Only problem I have seen so far is when using the stock browser and flipping it to landscape it just ****s everything up. Half the screen goes black and the other half doesn't display right.

Using 1.1 and the newest bionix blackout theme

Could be the theme. Did this problem occur with the v1.1.0 stock theme?

I have a question. I am running 1.0.2 successfully on my Epic. I just bought a new 16gb Microsd card to replace the one thats in there. I think this would be perfect time to upgrade to 1.1. What steps do i need to take to upgrade? I want to wipe it clean and start all over again so I have fresh start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caspertodd:
Try ByteTornado. It is a download manager, and is free in the market. It took care of this problem for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
Haven't actually ran stock v1.1 :). I have been using the Bionix Blackout theme for sometime now and have been upgrading both at the same time. I will ask Maddoggin about this as well.

Used Odin, but the phone just recycles on it's own.

I did Odin again, but it's just sitting on factoryfs.rfs. It's been about 45 minutes. Does anyone know how long this process is supposed to take?

I am reverting back to EC05 from SRF1.1 and Vision kernel 1.1. I know it has to do a conversion from EXT4 back to whatever it was, but should it take this long?

First time using Odin it couldn't get past 3 progress bars, this time it stopped on 6, but the same task as mentioned above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Craigmier:
I came from 1.0.2 eb13 had zero problems other than if battery died I would have to reflash ROM due to FC's on all apps.

I odin'd eb05 modem and then erased cache, reset 3 times, then flashed newest build 1.1.0 and get FC on google search widget and lots of other apps. Any idea what went wrong? I am thinking of going back to 1.0.2 with eb13 or trying a diff ROM. Bummer cuz I have been updating to new version of ACS each time they come out and had great luck, until now:mad:
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewjb:
I have the EXACT same issue, plus I can no longer use exchange.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I run stock 1.1.0 without any theme and the browser still has this problem, and MANY, MANY more. The browser is so glitched its nearly unusable. Sometimes the top half of the screen will be black and the page will only display and scroll on the bottom half of the window. Sometimes text just decides not to show up until you zoom in. Sometimes the text decides not to display unless you pan around and scroll to a specific area on the screen making reading impossible. Its GLITCHED. A lot of potential, but more frustrating than anything in its current state.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
Vision 1.1 and twilight 1.1.0 stil crash my phone in 1.02 and 1.1.0 of srf

So i nandroided, odined to eb13, restored system and data then flashed srf 1.02. No crashes yet

Maybe an issue with the kernels themselves?

Is anyone having problems with the speaker being on at all times or does it happen with all roms and I am just now noticing it?

I can definitely hear a speaker hiss when i put the speaker directly up to my ear. Unless it's the ocean and my phone confused itself with a seashell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
Same here, I thought I was bugging out but its been going on for a while. Stock is ok. Could it be a kernal issue? voodoo sound?
[Epic 4G Android Development] badbeats:
Well I tried 1.1 again but this time with vision kernel 1.1. It has only been a few hours but so far no freezes. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Do I need set cpu to set the kernel speed. What is it running at right now?

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You do need SetCPU - if you want to overclock to 1.3ghz or 1.4ghz. VisionKernel and Twilight Zone run at 1.0ghz by default.

Nor any testers. Sounds like a misbehaving app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nadcicle:
Well that's what i thought, but I rechecked and it stopped doing it randomly. Then it started again then stopped again and has remained not doing it for about 15 minutes. I am trying to see if the speaker just remains on after being used for a few minutes or something.

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
There's an alternate fix involving the phone being upside down - give it a search, I don't have the link on hand. It's nothing in the ROM/kernel/modem/zombies.

Kernel version?

Quick question: on the first page it says the kernel is built on 2.6.34, however with 1.1 installed my phone indicates a kernel version 2.6.32.9 - do I need to install an update?

It says it's implementing a patch from 2.6.34. The kernel version you have is correct.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mikenicee:
I've been getting a lot of fc errors, even when formatting and wiping with this new rom. Its there any problem using the ec05 modem with 1.02 rom? So far its working fine, but will I benefit by reverting back to eb13?

Question k0nane, I was on bonsai and experimenting with the vision and genocide kernels yesterday. My nandroid is srf 1.1, so if I nand back and then flash srf 1.1 again it will remove the journaling?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
+1

I also just reinstall 1.02 because phone started to freeze up to many times and I read that its because of the Kernel to fix that were supposed to install the other kernel konane posted but that breaks the camera and i use the camera alot as well so my ? is i have the ECO5 modem installed should i go back to EB13 or stick with this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This is difficult to diagnose without a log.

The EC05 modem does work with 1.0.2 - but if you've been getting FCs, something other than the ROM is to blame. Wipe your SD card, Odin to stock EB13, and restart the process.

No. Any restore of a Nandroid backup adds (or leaves in place) journaling.

As above, the EC05 modem is fine - but try the camera APK from EB13. That should solve any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] i_guana:
Any new details on fixing wired tether support? I really need it as it's my internet for home and away. Guess I could use PDANet for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Koadic:
I think k0nane read through your question too quickly and overlooked the part I bolded for emphasis... :D

Reflashing srf 1.1 again after the restore should effecively remove the journaling as it wipes/formats data/system/cache upon flashing.

If you can deal with losing the camera fixes, you can always flash an older kernel (1.0.4?)

I came from cm7 , flashed modem, then wiped and flashed rom, no fcs at all

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
My phone absolutely hates SRF 1.1. I even put the recommended kernel on it and the damn thing FC's so much I can't even use it. I've wiped multiple times, gone to stock and back, wiped some more, everything under the sun. It simply doesn't play nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Have you tried to ODIN back to EB13 or DI18, and completely revert back to stock and work your back up only takes me 10-15 mins total to do that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yeah, sorry about that. Koadic is correct. As far as the camera goes - if you use the EB13 camera APK, it should work 100% correctly.

That's the expected result. ;)

Mystery will have one posted soon - no ETAs, we don't give them.

Format your SD card, redownload the ROM, Odin, CWM3, put the ROM on your SD card, reboot, wipe, flash. This should make it work guaranteed. The SD card format will probably be your secret sauce.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
User qbking77 has created a how-to video for flashing this ROM properly. Thanks qbking77!

Le' Bricque

Tried going from SRF1.1/Vision 1.1 back to EC05. Impaler stated just odin. I did, now Sprint says I have a bricked phone. Odin just freezes midway thru, at different places, no matter which .md5 I select (DI18, EC05, etc).
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Are you using the stock cable? If so, use another.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
like k0nane said, make sure you're not using the stock usb, everyone has trouble with that. also, (hate to state the obvious, but...) remember to use the pit if you're going back to something other than ec05, and remember to also place the md5 in the pda section, and uncheck EVERYTHING except auto reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
I was having the freeze ups, and using Rodderik's new kernel seems to have cleared it. FYI to those if it hasn't been said.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zzim:
I am confused on how it is overclocked to 1.2 by default?

So I don't need to do anything after I flash the rom and its already at 1.2 Ghz?

Here was my process

1. Flash with ODIN to stock EB13

2. OTA update to EC05

3. Run clockwork 3.0.0.6 and root(after doing this it would not boot just got stuck at the samsung screen)

4.Flashed the update.zip for this rom and it booted no problem no issues

Is it running at 1.2Ghz now or do i need an app like setCPU to modify it?

Can someone explain this a bit more there was no app bundled to check or change the CPU speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
it's set to 1.0 default, 1.3 only if u set it with setcpu

edit: i think the op refers to the kernal (tz 1.1) coming default with the ability to oc to 1.3 ghz
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silent25r:
Am I the only one with this problem? It's a little annoying because I don't know what is causing it. On a good note I've been running 1.3ghz with no fc to speak of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
Thanks, that did the trick. When I called the guy back at Sprint to tell him the phone was fixed he seemed shocked. Asked what I did, told him, he came back with "really?".

On a side note, woke up this morning to my phone powered off which was not how I left it when I went to bed. Needless to say, my alarm didn't go off (from phone). I can't have that happen again, so I tried to go back to just rooted EC05 with no custom rom/kernel. The phone was stuck in a boot loop and that is when my fun day began.

Sorry to have to go back. Not sure what caused my phone to power off and be stuck in a boot loop, but I can't have that happen again.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
i was getting worse than that with srf 1.1 with both the tz 1.1 and vision 1.1 kernals. it wasn't until i flashed the t.z. 1.0.4 kernal that anything helped. i even had my cpu scaled back to 800/200 mhz with screen off profile set to 200 mhz to avoid any unnecessary drain, and i STILL got crappy life off a full charge.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Zzim:
•Twilight Zone is overclocked to 1.2ghz by default, and undervolted at 1.0ghz

So this just means that the kernal is overclocked and when its at 1.0ghz its undervolted so save battery life?

So really by default its set to 1.0ghz and we are able to overclock to 1.2?

......soooo why not just say we can overclock to 1.3?

It is great that there is now a working bluetooth dialer. I have a couple of issues and hopefully you can help me resolve them. GPS seems to be broken for some reason. If I turn off the wireless location and rely totally on gps nothing works that uses the location. I download the GPS tools from the market and reset the data and downloaded the data again and it still didn't work. Also(this may not be an issue if the apps aren't in the rom.) I flashed the fully loaded and none of the google apps were there as in no gmail, no maps, no navigate. I flashed the modem to ec05 using oden. Then I started in recovery to clockwork 3.x and flashed the rom from there after I did a factory reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Of course they were gone - you wiped data after you flashed the ROM. Don't do that. The Google apps are in /data so you can uninstall what you don't need.

As far as GPS goes, Odin to stock EB13, get a lock, then run the update procedure. Wipe data before, not after flashing!

Can't vouch for the battery life yet since my phone was down to 25% when I flashed it, but DAMN it's much, much faster - and I was already overclocked to 1.2ghz on the stock (but rooted) 2.2.

Reading about Carrier IQ scares the **** out of me. I wonder if Sprint saw me browsing the Craigslist Men 4 Men section on my phone.. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The task manager is included in both versions. The ringers, pull them from /system/media/audio. The live wallpapers are being looked into.

Search "calibrate battery" in this forum for detailed instructions. On Twilight Zone 1.0, 1.2ghz was the default max, and the max couldn't be set lower (it would still scale up and down right). On 1.0.1, you could set it to 1.0ghz.
